"Cali!" I shouted, awakening from a stupor I was certain hadn't been voluntary. My head hurt like hell, I put my hand to my face, trying to remember what happened.
The invaders...That's right...they had attacked, we beat them, again, barely. We were celebrating a bit, not much, just some toasting around the circle so to speak. Then...cracks...the world...broke. It almost dissolved. I saw Cali sucked into some kind of...portal I think. I grabbed her hand, but she got pulled away anyway. Then...a bright flash...nothing.
Now I'm here, I said looking around. What is this place? I saw buildings, houses, lots and lots of them. Over the tops I saw a big clock tower of some kind. Odd, very odd indeed. I didn't know a place this big existed.
I wandered around the streets, drawing some gazes, everyone else here looked neat and trim compared to me, I had just spent a month fighting the invaders. Come to think of it, why aren't these people doing the same? I walked down a main street it appeared. It was open, and I saw a huge building at the head of the whole thing. There were about six or seven video screens at the top. I looked up to the top one. It said something I knew couldn't be true. Though maybe it was, maybe that brown guy was right on the money about there being other worlds...
"Welcome to Twilight Town."
